The Detroit Lions will hire Denver Broncos offensive assistant Jim Bob Cooter to be the team's quarterbacks coach, according to a report from CBS Sports Bruce Feldman.

Before joining the Broncos staff last season, Cooter spent one season as a quality control coach in Kansas City and three years as an offensive assistant under new Lions coach Jim Caldwell in Indianapolis.

Are we in danger of having too many cooks in the kitchen? Caldwell, Lombardi, and Cooter. At least once the Lions commit to something, they really commit.

But, is there going to be too many mouths in the ear of Stafford?

The most likely way the coaching will work is the 3 coaches layout a game plan for what Stafford needs to work on and Cooter works one on one with Stafford with that in mind. Both Caldwell and Lombardi will have actual offensive game planning to do, so I don't see a problem at all. Also you could use cooter to coach the back ups while Lombardi works more with Staff.
